Do you have a script that is doing this?
I bet you do. What is happening is that you are causing inetd
to fork alot of copies of cvs real fast. inetd has a built in
security measure where it will not let new connections if
a bunch occurr at the same time( prevents fork bomb like attacks ).
In your script that is doing the cvs add command put a sleep( 1 )
between each cvs add.
